Recently i demoed both the JH13 and JH16 Pro at Jaben Perth, decided to go with the JH13, my first CIEM... now the waiting is killing me...
I don't think you can go wrong with the 13. The detail in the bass on the 16 was phenomenal though.

I have the freqphase jh audio 13. I also own the AlgoRhythm Solo -dB. I am currently shopping around for an amp that will have good synergy with my dac. I would like to listen to accurate and natural music representation or how the artists envisions the way their fans will hear it. I want to live through the music and feel as if I'm there with them inside the studio while they were recording their tracks or the feeling of being in the very front of a live show. Does anyone have any recommendations? I also would like to have very low hiss or no hiss if possible in the background. Thanks a lot for your time. Other info: I listen to ALAC files on iTunes through my macbook pro (2013 late fall refresh) and on the go I use my 160gb iPod classic (latest gen.). I also own the silver dragon v1 iem cable with a oyaide end.

You should demo a Fiio X5 for 349 you can't go wrong plus it pairs superbly with the 13fp's. You won't need anymore power. The O2 is also a good way to go or you can try the leckerton uha-6s mkII.
IMHO I would go with the fiio. Sent my o2 and ODac combo back after receiving mine. Of course all I use it for is iems.
Having owned the DX100 and shortly auditioned the X5, I'd say that performance-wise, the X5 is disturbingly close to the DX100 while winning hands down in terms of UI, battery life and size. As a package, it's pretty much a no-brainer if you do not demand the cream of the crop sound quality.
Then how would you compare X5 to DX90? I heard there is debate between those 2..

I much prefer the sound of DX90 on my JH13fp. As stand alones, the X5 never sounded more 'natural' or 'analog' to me. Quite the opposite. I actually didn't care much for the X5 this way and would have looked elsewhere even if the DX90 never existed. As before, ymmv. I guess you'll have to try for yourself.
